Playing poker online in New York City can teach you all the rules you need to know to play the game - and how to win at it. But it will teach you none of the necessary etiquette for playing live.

Although as a beginner your primary concern may be how to maximize your winnings, it's actually important to familiarize yourself with live poker etiquette as again it is very different from New York City online poker. Mutual respect is crucial in poker, and the game has its own formalized system of dos and don’ts.

First of the rules of poker in Wichita, you never ask to see another player’s losing hand. Yes; you’re allowed to ask to see any hand called on the river. And yes; by doing so you glean a lot of information as to what the other player was playing. That is not reason enough to make the faux pas.

The reason you are allowed to request to see a called hand is to help thwart any players’ attempts at collaboration. If you ask to see a player’s hand, even with the intention of seeing what they’re playing, you are technically, according to the rules of poker in Wichita, accusing them of cheating.

Not only that, you’re needling the person, forcing them to show the table their losing hand and expose any mistakes they may have made. It’s a disrespectful thing to do, and in a private online poker game from Indianapolis you would be asked to leave for doing it.

He may be loud and obnoxious, but Mike “The Mouth” is rarely, if ever, disrespectful.

When you knock someone out of a tourney, or cash online poker game in Indianapolis, it’s up to them to shake your hand. Never offer to shake their hand; it puts them in a bad spot. Even though you’re trying to be friendly, think about it from their point of view: when you get knocked out of something, you’re usually pretty upset.

Most people don’t want to shake someone’s hand at that point. By offering, you are making them do something they don’t want to do, or look like a huge jerk by refusing.  Just a bit of poker advice in San Francisco.

Also, never apologize when you win a hand. You came to the table to win people’s money. How you do it doesn’t matter. By apologizing for taking someone’s money, you’re simply lying to them. You’re not sorry you hit your one-outer; in fact you’re relieved. No one appreciates being lied to. A big piece of poker advice in San Francisco, just say nice hand and move on.
